[quietly, only a small percentage
sof the voters taking advantage of
the opportunity tu cast their ballot.
The interest here seemed to center
'more on the candidates for county offices, as the results plainly show.
An effort was made at the last moment to carry the Borough for Livingood, the independent candidate for
County Controller, but the effort
proved futile, he having received 64
votes against 131 polled for A. L.

for Clerk of .Quarter Sessions, received the highest vote in Kutztown

In a cheerful little home on Sander

j her two little daughters. Stella, aged
5 years, and Helen, aged 15 months.
They are the wife and children of
Charles Stump, formerly a barber
with Wm. H. Livingood. As far as is
known. Stump left without saying a
word to any one. On Sunday fast he
and his wife and children were visiting and spen; a most pleasant day.
At q.jo in the evening Stump left on
a trolley car for Reading. Conduc-
,/)r Xervm P. Smith asked the man,
What takes you away at this time
of the night?" Stump is said to have
remarked, "Oh, one goes away some
times." During the early part of the
week A. K. Lesher, proprietor of the
eagle Restaurant, received a letter
irom Stutno bearing the post-mark
Easton, In it he stated he was going
to Baltimore, also that Mr. Lesher
should take the oldest daughter,
Stella, and that Mrs Stump should
sell all the furniture and use the
money and care for the baby.

AUTOMOBILE RECOVERED.
The art exhibit and literary exer-
1 cises in the public schools of Kutz-
I town next week promises to be of a
j most entertaining nature. As stated
I before The Horace K. Turner Company, of Boston, will exhibit 200 mas-
j terpieces of the most famous paint-
] ings. The pictures are beautiful re-
I productions, and the majority of our
1 -chool children have never seen prints
of such a high standard and excellent
! quality. Thev are made by photo-
graphic processes, and, as shown, are
in one color (brown, gray, green, or
blue tones), and in the colors of the
originals (in hand color and in color
photography).
What Exhibit Means for Us.
The art exhibit offers a splendid opportunity to begin a work, in the
school, of stimulating an appreciation
of good pictures among the children.
It will reach out into the homes and
awaken a great interest in pictures
among the parents. It will bring the
entire community in closer touch with
the schools and their needs and will
provide a substantial fund for schoolroom decoration. It is by successive
stages that the teachers in our schools
will carry forward our children into
an appreciation of the great works of
art. Simple contact with the pictures
at the exhibit is not enough—sympathetic, enthusiastic instruction is
imperative through the teacher who
knows how to interpret them truly.
Ladies Should Assist.
Kutztown Aefie, No. 839, Fraternal
Order of Eagl|s» which organization
was started buft a few years ago and
is now about 150 strone. is showing
considerable enterprise. A number
of the leading members have for sometime advocated T*e necessity of a
suitable home for the lodge. The
project was put before the open body
of the lodge with the result that all
were impressed ariM immediate steps
were taken towards Ithe erection of a
building. .
The lot in the te4**r of the building in which the lodge."pow meets was
bought from Chas. Dt-*fferman. The
plot of ground measufcfca. 25x160 feet.
A two-story building with basement,
22x00 will be erectefl. It will be
built of cement blocks fed if possible-
is to be finished by n.e|f?l^pring. Approximately the struct...* will cost
about $3000. Quite a Sliug sum of
this amount has already been subscribed by members of (*e organization.
The basement will be t$J_tn up for
a card room and buffet, and possibly
a pool room. On the fir^Joor will
be a vestibule and entrance hall.

The number of graduates living today is _»3io. Making up this number
in part there are 95^ public school or
high school teachers. 42 teachers in
normal schools and colleges, seven

Another interesting item is the fact
that although there must be at least
I-.00 alumnae, only 298 of these are

It might also be of interest to note
that not one-half of the Xormal graduates remain in the profession of

AUTOMOBILE RECOVERED.
The art exhibit and literary exer-
1 cises in the public schools of Kutz-
I town next week promises to be of a
j most entertaining nature. As stated
I before The Horace K. Turner Company, of Boston, will exhibit 200 mas-
j terpieces of the most famous paint-
] ings. The pictures are beautiful re-
I productions, and the majority of our
1 -chool children have never seen prints
of such a high standard and excellent
! quality. Thev are made by photo-
graphic processes, and, as shown, are
in one color (brown, gray, green, or
blue tones), and in the colors of the
originals (in hand color and in color
photography).
What Exhibit Means for Us.
The art exhibit offers a splendid opportunity to begin a work, in the
school, of stimulating an appreciation
of good pictures among the children.
It will reach out into the homes and
awaken a great interest in pictures
among the parents. It will bring the
entire community in closer touch with
the schools and their needs and will
provide a substantial fund for schoolroom decoration. It is by successive
stages that the teachers in our schools
will carry forward our children into
an appreciation of the great works of
art. Simple contact with the pictures
at the exhibit is not enough—sympathetic, enthusiastic instruction is
imperative through the teacher who
knows how to interpret them truly.
Ladies Should Assist.
Kutztown Aefie, No. 839, Fraternal
Order of Eagl|s» which organization

project was put before the open body
of the lodge with the result that all
were impressed ariM immediate steps
were taken towards Ithe erection of a
building. .
The lot in the te4**r of the building in which the lodge."pow meets was
bought from Chas. Dt-*fferman. The

about $3000. Quite a Sliug sum of
this amount has already been subscribed by members of (*e organization.
The basement will be t$J_tn up for
a card room and buffet, and possibly

It might also be of interest to note
that not one-half of the Xormal graduates remain in the profession of
